They happened earlier. The puppies. [......] If you'd like to come see them.

[ FRIENDS. ]
How in the name of Faram am I supposed to take care of five newborn puppies? Fuck

Finally settled back in. If anyone's been looking for me, I'll be spending the next few days in Shieldwyrm.


[Arabella]
I heard about an attack at the Aerodrome. Are you and yours alright?

[Dragon Riders]
Anything I should be catching up on?

[Bram]
How was the holiday?

[Friends]
What have I missed?

As a Valendian girl born and bred, having just celebrated the new year, I feel compelled to ask if anyone else has made any horribly optimistic new year's resolutions. Just for curiosity's sake, mind, and the inevitable self-comparison(!)

[RiLi]
A question. Is this Riyeko Lionward, the machinist?

[Cian]
Gl

Catching up on work after that plague is atrocious. It's been a month, and yet.

alright? meant to check in earlier but [........] you know.

[.....]

Sparring tomorrow at Shieldwyrm. Takers?

How [....] is your training with Finch going?

[ THEO. ]
I did mean what I said when I left: if you need anything, let me or Divina know.

[ DIVINA. ]
Forgot to say how seeing Finch went on Monday. When you said he wasn't of sound mind, I [....] didn't consider this degree of memory loss.

[ AUDREY. ]
Back to normal yet?

[ KIERNAN & FOXE. ]
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel restless without a mission on the horizon. I can feel it in Amarant too.

[ ARI, FOXE & OPHION, separately. ]
Alright?

[ OT3. ]
You had both better be okay. Please don't be d

[ THEO. ]
So are you going to tell us what that

[ PEONY. ]
Finch is back, Councilor.

First of all, thank you all for volunteering for this mission. The safety of Emillion and its citizens hinges on its success, as no doubt you understand. We have been able to pinpoint the location where the herb may be found, and believe it would be best to launch this mission as soon as possible. The details are as follows:

Volunteers will leave from the Aerodrome at 6:00AM on Saturday, Sagittarius 8. Dress warmly; the journey will lead you to the Emillion mountains, so please remember to take the weather into account. Volunteers will fly partway there, but as the site cannot be directly accessed by airship, volunteers will need to be prepared to walk and camp at least one night. Camping supplies (bedrolls, tents, etc.) will be provided free of charge, as will healing potions.

Thank you again. We pray for your success, and wish you the best of luck. Should you have any further questions regarding mission parameters, please direct them to Councilors Min or Matsudaira of the Mages' Guild.

[ Councils ]
ooc: posted at the same time as the above, just slipped my mind

In order to be fully prepared for the ordeal ahead, Councilor Min and I believe it would help matters to settle on a team leader, or several (depending on whether more volunteers come forward yet). You have seen the list of volunteers as it stands. Do you have any members of your respective guilds you would like to recommend for the task?

If any of you have caught ill and haven't seen a white mage or gone to a clinic to be diagnosed, and if you're hallucinating dead people, I swear to fucking Faram I'm dragging you there myself.

[........................]

The weather is quite queer as of late, no?


[FIGHTER'S GUILD.]

[........................]

I fear this is quite a troublesome time in Emillion's history. For those of you who are aware of the current dangers which have enveloped our lands and city, I am certain you understand. For those of you who are not so savvy, consider this a notice to you: An illness sweeps through us, a plague. If you have not done so, I encourage you to sign up to assist the councilor's of the mage's guild in bringing this terrible burden to the best conclusion it is capable of having.

For any member of our guild who seeks to assist those who have already volunteered I will grant access to what little I have in extra stores of equipment. I have a few weapons, but mostly ammo.

If you have any questions regarding our own guild matters, or how to continue with this task approach any of our own council or the mage's guild without fear for this is your time to bring forth the strength that your friends, lovers, brethren and family have supplied you with for so long. This is a surmountable task, and I believe you all capable of bringing the fate of this task to your desired end.


[TRAINEE'S.]
My apologies, I will be unable to assist with your training sessions for this week or perhaps .


[OLQ.]
My apologies. I fear that I seem to have fallen ill.

[Rictor.]
They say I am to die. [........................] How do you feel of The Armory?

[Ari & Mag.]
My apologies [........................] I did not realize I was to die so soon. I would not have

All citizens of Emillion must be aware by now of the illness making its way through our city. We of the Mages' Guild have been working in concert with our colleagues in the Cathedral to keep sickness at bay, but as those who are ill also know, the current medications and spells are proving insufficient.

Based on information obtained recently, a cure may already be in existence; it will, however, be difficult and possibly dangerous to obtain.

On behalf of all the guilds and the Church, we are issuing a call for volunteers to travel to the mountains posthaste to seek out the herb which we believe may cure this illness. The journey may be perilous and the volunteers must be prepared to do battle with a guardian creature most powerful.

Please, do not volunteer yourself lightly, for those who go will surely risk their lives. But for the sake of the lives of those who are ill, this mission must be attempted. The volunteers should leave as quickly as supplies and logistics for the journey can be arranged.

A reward will be offered to those who succeed in returning with the herb. Please reply for further details. Councilors Matsudaira and Min of the Mages' Guild will coordinate the effort.

Is everyone healthy? Please [....] please tell me you're healthy.

[Mag]

You have to make certain Aspel stays in bed. Please, I know she doesn't want me staying, but I don't think she is going to listen to the mage. She is not doing well

[Drake]

Aspel is [......................] very sick. If she tries to go to work, kick her out.

shortly after this

For the sake of the greater good, I will abstain from echoing our Lord fon Amell's earlier sentiment. Still, it's good to be back. Knock on wood, etc.

[ Foxe, Ari, Lea ] separately
Please tell me your life doesn't suck right now.

[ Kiernan ]
How are Have you You need help with anything, you let me us m us know, all right?

[ Aspel ]
Faram, this is such a mess. I want to help, but I have no damn idea what to do to make it better.

[ Drake ]
He's not doing great, but hopefully being back here will help. It's [....] going to take time, I'm afraid.

[ Rictor ]
It's a lovely morning to go shoot things, isn't it? I'll be at the range in Shieldwyrm in an hour or so. If you're free, perhaps we'll see if your squire's adoration is justified, no?

[ Vivi ]
[.....] How are you doing?

Always prefer to come back to a city intact.

[ JULIETTE. ]
Thank you for watching Zelda for the week. Was she well-behaved?

[ MAG. ]
We should do something for Kiernan's birthday in three weeks. Something he'll remember.

[ KIERNAN. ]
How do I [...] My thoughts are with you, Kiernan. I'm sorry I couldn't come, but my brothers and I are thinking of you.

[ LAN, RIN & ARI. ]
I really did mean to say thanks for Friday, but I got distracted. I had a good time, even if I snorted water up my nose a couple times. I feel bad that I could relax while Kiernan's

[ LAN. ]
How's the kitty cat?

[ AMOS. ]
Father, might I be able to take you up on that monastery trip sometime?

[ FOXE. ]
Would it be alright if I sent my brothers to you for Dragon Rider inquiries? I [...] don't want them to bother Kiernan when he's back, or Lavitz, who probably went with him.

[ PEONY. ]
Can I [.....] ask a favor?

[ PUBLIC. ]
Twenty-three years in this house, and I still can't avoid catching colds from sick family members. There must be some magical trick that doesn't involve not touching anything or avoiding brothers like they're dying from a plague.

And as of this morning, my mother has officially put up the Faram's Mass decorations weeks too early. You will see my house from a mile away, now.

[ Dragon Riders, Friends ]

My father's funeral will be on Tuesday. I know it's short notice and not a quick trip so I don't expect many if any of you to show, but [...] just in case you wanted to know.

[ Friends ]

[......] Anyone have advice on how to not strangle your relatives?

[Backdated to three days after this]

[Filter: Arabella Alaire]
I hope you got home alright after Bierfest. Cassius just woke up from his bender and wanted me to let you know that he's very sorry for his stupid behavior. Hopefully no one else attacked you with song on your way out.

Has Kiernan told [.....] Due to personal circumstances, I'll need to take the week with Amarant. I should be back Friday at the latest. [...] Apologies for this being last minute.

[ FRIENDS. ]
Personal matter, back next week. I'll still have my communicator on me. Zelda is going to get lonely, so if someone wouldn't mind watching her for the week, I'd appreciate it.

[ FOXE. ]
Let me know if something comes up.

[ FG Council, Dragon Riders ] [...] [ and Friends ]

My father passed away earlier today, so I'll be going home for a week or so. I'll be back by the 26th.

Might anyone have recommendations for books on central Ordalian history during the Imperial occupation and subsequent revolution?

[Riyeko]

Thank you very much for lunch - it was such a pleasant surprise.

[Pyr & Sky]

I have not seen you in some time due to [....] difficulties at work, and I apologize. Are you well?

[Penelope]

I have a favor to ask, if you are amenable.

[Kiernan & Lavitz]

Might one of you be available for a small job on Thursday morning of this week?

[Ade]
[after this]

It has been suggested that I contact you regarding a small escort job for this coming Thursday. It has been some time since we last worked together, but I would be glad to have your company, if you are available.
